NOW YOU TELL ME!
Actually I realized it should be in neutral after I started wiggling and jiggling. I have no idea what gear it was in. So I just turned the crank a tiny bit between each attempt and it slotted in eventually. And as mentioned, once I got the engine properly located that helped too.
SO!
I just got back from my test drive. First impressions = I love it. I have turned my car into a long-legged beauty. First gear isn't at all unmanageable. And based on 5 km or so, this gearing appears to suit my driving style perfectly. Very happy.
The speedo is clearly under-reporting. So, going out again to do a short Google Earth route, adjust the odo & speedo in the
SG and get some preliminary MPG numeros.
